\c 2
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 1 Say to your brothers, 'My people!'
|
|
\q and to your sisters, 'You have been shown compassion.'"
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\b
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 Bring a lawsuit against your mother, bring a lawsuit,
|
|
\q2 for she is not my wife,
|
|
\q2 and neither am I her husband.
|
|
\q Let her put away her prostitution from before herself,
|
|
\q and her acts of adultery from between her breasts.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 If not, I will strip her naked
|
|
\q and show her nakedness as on the day that she was born.
|
|
\q I will make her like the wilderness,
|
|
\q like a parched land,
|
|
\q and I will make her die from thirst.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 I will not have any mercy on her children,
|
|
\q for they are children of prostitution.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 For their mother has been a prostitute,
|
|
\q and she who conceived them has acted shamefully.
|
|
\q She said, "I will go after my lovers,
|
|
\q for they give me my bread and water,
|
|
\q my wool and flax,
|
|
\q my oil and drink."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 Therefore I will build up a hedge to block her way with thorns.
|
|
\q I will build up a wall against her
|
|
\q so she cannot find her way.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 She will pursue her lovers,
|
|
\q but she will not overtake them.
|
|
\q She will seek them,
|
|
\q but she will not find them.
|
|
\q Then she will say,
|
|
\q "I will return to my first husband,
|
|
\q for it was better for me then than it is now."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\b
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 For she had not known that it was I who gave her
|
|
\q the grain, the new wine and the oil,
|
|
\q and who lavished on her silver and gold,
|
|
\q which they then used for Baal.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 So I will take back her grain at harvest time,
|
|
\q and my new wine in its season.
|
|
\q I will take back my wool and flax
|
|
\q that were used to cover her nakedness.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 Then I will strip her naked in the sight of her lovers,
|
|
\q and no one will rescue her out of my hand.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 I will also cause all her celebrations to cease—
|
|
\q her feasts, her new moon celebrations, her Sabbaths, and all her appointed festivals.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 "I will destroy her vines and her fig trees,
|
|
\q of which she has said,
|
|
\q 'These are the wages that my lovers gave me.'
|
|
\q I will make them a forest,
|
|
\q and the animals of the field will eat them.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 I will punish her for the feast days of the Baals,
|
|
\q when she burned incense to them,
|
|
\q when she adorned herself with her rings and jewelry,
|
|
\q and she went after her lovers and forgot me."
|
|
\q This is the declaration of Yahweh.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\b
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 So I am going to win her back. I will bring her into the wilderness
|
|
\q and speak tenderly to her.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 I will give her back her vineyards,
|
|
\q and the valley of Achor as a door of hope.
|
|
\q She will answer me there as she did in the days of her youth,
|
|
\q as in the days that she came out of the land of Egypt.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 "It will be in that day"—this is the declaration of Yahweh—
|
|
\q "that you will call me, 'My husband,'
|
|
\q and you will no longer call me, 'My Baal.'
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 17 For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth;
|
|
\q their names will not be remembered anymore."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 18 "On that day I will make a covenant for them
|
|
\q with the beasts in the fields,
|
|
\q with the birds in the sky,
|
|
\q and with the crawling things on the ground.
|
|
\q I will drive away the bow, the sword, and the battle from the land,
|
|
\q and I will make you lie down in safety.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 19 I will promise to be your husband forever.
|
|
\q I will promise to be your husband in righteousness, justice, covenant faithfulness, and mercy.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 20 I will promise to be your husband in faithfulness.
|
|
\q And you will know me, Yahweh.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\b
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 21 And on that day,
|
|
\q I will answer"—this is the declaration of Yahweh.
|
|
\q "I will answer the heavens,
|
|
\q and they will answer the earth.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 22 The earth will answer the grain, the new wine and the oil,
|
|
\q and they will answer Jezreel.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 23 I will plant her for myself in the land,
|
|
\q and I will have mercy on Lo Ruhamah.
|
|
\q I will say to Lo Ammi,
|
|
\q 'You are Ammi Attah,'
|
|
\q and they will say to me, 'You are my God.'"
